This document discusses digital technologies and innovation in decision-making. It covers several topics:
- The building blocks of algorithms and how they are improving productivity through reinforced learning and predictive analytics.
- Different types of decisions individuals, groups and organizations face ranging from programmed to non-programmed to knowledge-based decisions.
- Models for thinking including System 1 fast thinking vs System 2 slow thinking, and simple, complicated vs complex domains.
- The benefits and limitations of using models to make decisions. Common causes for poor decision-making include not understanding what is being measured or the measurement methods.
- Different types of machine learning including supervised, unsupervised, semi-supervised and reinforcement learning and examples of
